Also, does a goalie really have to look when the puck just hit BOTH posts? I think any NHL goalie would hear both posts and immediately turn to defend what is probably sitting right at the goal line.
Let me guess, it was either a Venom or Pengman post? The stuff both of those guys come up with as reasons to hate on EA's game is pure comic gold. Personally I think it looks fine, I don't really see the "warping" that some do, it honestly looks like theres an animation of pushing off the right leg to move into the second save attempt, even though the puck hits the side of the cage it does look like it pops back in front after doing so, not sure if Lou would then make an effort to glove the puck down there as thats where the clip ends.
